XenForo 1.0.1

It's almost a month since we declared our software stable and released XenForo 1.0.0. Since then, we have been hard at work fixing bugs and extending our importer system.

All licensed customers may now download XenForo 1.0.1 from the customer area.

More Stable

This release of XenForo 1.0.1 follows our principle that third-point (x.x.X) releases should always be more stable than the preceding version, so for the most part you will not find new features in 1.0.1. New features will be reserved for second point versions (x.X.x).

Installation and Upgrade Instructions

Full details for how to install and upgrade XenForo can be found in the XenForo Manual.

 

Updated Importer System

While the XenForo core has mainly undergone only bug fixes and stability improvements for this release, the importer system has had something of an overhaul. In conjunction with these changes, we now offer importers forInvision Power Board 3.1 and vBulletin 3.6, as well as the existing vBulletin 3.7/3.8 importer.

The new importer system now imports more data, and performs further processing to make the transition from your old system to XenForo that much more seamless.

1. Positive reputation is now imported as XenForo 'Likes'.
2. Attachment tags in the body of posts are now rewritten where possible to use the new XenForo data, so thumbnails etc. will now update transparently.
3. Quote tags are now rewritten where possible to have proper user attribution and a link back to the quoted content.
   
   

Multiple Import Sources

Furthermore, the system now allows multiple sources to be imported into a single XenForo installation while maintaining redirects for each of the sources. More information about mutiple-source imports is available here:
XenForo Manual: Import Redirection

​

HTTP 301 Redirection Scripts

The existing importer redirection scripts have been updated to allow multiple import sources, and now support more content types. The vBulletin redirect scripts support forumdisplay.php, showthread.php, showpost.php,printthread.php and attachment.php, allowing forums, threads, posts and attachments all to be redirected.

These updated scripts will be released shortly.​

 

IP.Board Importer Beta

Our IP.Board importer is now ready to release as a mature beta.

As with all of our importers, the XenForo IP.Board importer will maintain users' passwords, so they will be able to log in to your XenForo installation with the same details as they used to log in to your IP.Board.

The IP.Board importer will import usergroups, users, custom avatars, private message conversations (maintaining their conversational structure), profile comments and status updates, forums, moderators, topics and posts, polls, attached files and positive reputation.

​

Forum Permissions

IP.Board uses a fundamentally different model of forum permissions from XenForo, so following consultation, it was decided that the importer would perform an optional 'best guess' forum permission import, where it determines whether a forum is fully public, accessible to members only, or staff only.

​

Avatars

IP.Board uses avatars differently from XenForo, placing more of an emphasis on profile photos, so the XenForo importer gives you the option to import profile photos as avatars where it is possible to do so, as these are often larger, higher quality graphics, which are more befitting of the XenForo avatar system.

​

HTTP 301 Redirection Scripts

Redirection scripts for IP.Board will be released shortly. They support redirection for forums, threads, posts and attachments.

That's interesting, but, I still absolutely hate Xenforo. It's very unstable and just unattractive through my eyes. phpBB owns it every way possible and it's free.

 

How so, how is it unstable? Have you ever used it, that you are saying its unstable. phpBB's progress has been very slow to nothing at all, they still dont have a good mod system, and the features are just horrible, from my experience. Xenforo has been stable since beta, and now its even more stable. Never been hacked, no big major errors, crashes etc.

 

Explain.

 

I like this update it made it feel a lot more stable for me. I now don't have a javascript error every time I log in.

 

I got xenForo with the gold release, never had a single problem so far and it's miles better than phpBB. I converted to IPB from phpBB because it was so frustrating.

 

I never had any problems with xenforo, but yes I agree 1.01 is much more better.

I bought xenforo when it was at beta 2, I never had a problem ever.

 

Unstable??? o_O I would seriously consider checking it out (or maybe your eyes that are making it seem that way ) again, because I would easily disagree with that. This forum is running XF, as is my own, and I haven't seen any stability issues. Furthermore, if you think it's "unattractive," XF's style properties/color palette/templates make it very easy to change the theme to your liking, even without a whole lot of CSS knowledge (I got by with basic knowledge).

 

I know right, its very easy to customize xenforo. The one thing I hate is when people call something bad and they never used it. Im sure he never used it and hes calling it unstable. I have used phpbb, and I have the right to say its much less stable than xenforo, and xenforo is very stable.
